Not only it is the sosenkyou single, I think because the voting ticket is also available to those who bought the Theater Edition too (Plus, fans get random cards out of it. What a way to milk fans' money. lol). Previous voting tickets weren't available in the TE of the sousenkyo single.

Btw, them selling 1.45m in a day is legit marketing. You can blame it on desperate fans or crazy bulk buying fans, but you can't deny that they still managed to sell loads of records using legitimate marketing tactics. They did not force fans to bulk buy or sell false marketing information to them like "If you buy this single, you will get an AKB48 girl as your girlfriend.".

The marketing tactics used by AKB48 is everywhere, its not exclusively used by AKB48. Moreover, they do not use marketing tactics like "If we sell above xxx amount, we will give a free concert" unlike a certain other band.

Even if you say half were fans while the other half were marketing tactics, 700k in a day is still massive, especially in this digital and piracy-rampant age.

WHAT THE FUCK IS Y'ALL'S PROBLEM WITH AKB48 RELEASING MULTIPLE VERSIONS OF A SINGLE? THAT'S THE GODDAMN MARKET RIGHT NOW AND THEY AREN'T THE ONLY IDOL GROUP DOING IT. PASSPO HAS DONE ELEVEN VERSIONS OF THEIR SINGLES, SO HAS FUDANJUKU, MORNING MUSUME REGULARLY HAS AT LEAST 5 VERSIONS OF THEIR SINGLES. EVEN THE "ARTISTS" SUCH AS AYUMI HAMASAKI AND KUMI KODA HAVE DONE MULTIPLE VERSIONS OF SINGLES.

Y'ALL ARE JUST FUCKING PRESSED THAT A MERE IDOL GROUP IS SELLING MILLIONS AND NOT SOME ESTABLISHED "ARTIST."
